The monk sat with his back against the tree, a bowl in front of him.

"It is fortunate that you met a poor monk. Speaking of which, he was also someone who had a bitter life, and both his parents died when he was young. That heartless uncle sent him to the temple to be a monk."

Gollum listened with sympathy.

The monk then continued, "To be a monk, one must abide by the rules and regulations. This is good. It is good to be far from the disturbance of the secular world. It is good to be free. This humble monk also benefited from his misfortune."

Guru listened and felt gratified.

It was indeed rare to have such good fortune. After all, very few people took suffering as a good thing.

You might ask, being a monk is not hard work, it's just not enough to eat big fish and big meat.

But when you think about it, the most important thing for a person to do is to act with integrity and self-respect. You have to recite scriptures every day and do the same thing every day.

"What kind of disaster did you, this fish, experience?" Why did he lose his eyes? "How rare."

Guru could not speak, but he could only sigh in his heart. His eyes had been lost because of that person. Even though there was some regret, she had no regrets.

As she had always thought, she thought of this as a dream. This was the price of returning to reality.

She didn't know what would happen to the rest of her life after losing her eyes, so she decided to walk for a day to recover her Fa Li.

It was unknown how he was faring. When a mortal fell down a cliff, they would at least be severely injured, and at most, they would be severely injured …

If it was heavy, she would die. In the end, she still couldn't bear to see him die. No matter what, it was still a life.

Now, she finally understood that it wasn't his fault that he didn't love her. Even though she knew about this matter, she still had the same wishful thinking as before, leading to such a tragedy.

As the monk said, may I be merciful and let him live.

From here on out, they did not owe each other anything. If they met again in the future, they would only be strangers.

Zhao Ping searched for three days and three nights. Finally, he lost his strength and fainted. When he woke up again, he was in the palace.

"Who sent me back?"

"Reporting to the young prince, it's the Holy Maiden." A servant girl answered carefully.

"Ling'er?" Zhaoping was puzzled; how could it be Fairy Lin who sent him back?

Ning Kang walked in and chided softly, "Don't be unreasonable. The name of the Holy Maiden is not something you can call."

As I said before, the Holy Maiden is the only one who is ranked higher than the emperor. Her status is so prestigious that even officials would have to be polite to her, not to mention him, a young prince, for being young, being ignorant, and causing trouble.

"Father, where is the Holy Maiden now?" Zhao Ping quickly got up from the bed.

"Of course it's in the palace. Could it be in the palace?" Ning Kang didn't have any good expression towards his son who had returned from the vicissitudes of life.

He had been reckless, leaving without a word, and had brought a few more people with him. Luckily, the Holy Maiden had saved him, otherwise, he would have reached the underworld and met the King of Hell.

This kid should have taught him a lesson.

Without a word, Zhaoping put on his boots and entered the palace.

It was very clear that the Holy Maiden was waiting for him. If she had known earlier, she would have arrived.

At such a "critical" moment, he still politely waited for her to finish playing the zither before he spoke.

"Does Ling'er know anything?" He looked at her.

"Today, let me be clear. No matter if it is on the cliff or under the cliff, it is me who saved you."

When the carriage fell off the cliff, she hurt her own cultivation to ensure that he was safe and sound. She watched as he returned to the imperial capital, but he turned back to look for that carp.

Actually, she had personally witnessed the scene of the monk saving Gollum. At that time, with a slight movement of her fingers, Gollum and Zhaoping reunited, it was an easy task.

But she wasn't sure, she wasn't sure how much Gollum weighed in his heart. He said that Gollum was only his sister, but that before men and women everything was possible, and as time went on, feelings would change as well.

In order to prevent unnecessary things from happening, she could only watch the monk take Gollum away.

Let the two of them separate and end this bad fate.

"But you shouldn't …" Zhao Ping was shocked. "You followed me?"

The fairy shook her head, "I'm not following you, but rather you and I are fated to be together for three generations. From the moment I met you, my love spirit was awakened, and this is also why I was able to appear in time to save you when you were in danger."

"Three years of marriage?" Zhao Ping asked again. What he heard today were all new words. He had never thought of these before, but her expression didn't seem like she was lying.

"Yes, you are my lover for the third time. This was what my mother told me when I left the mountain. She said that it was fated by the heavens that you and I would fall in love."

Now, then, step back.

The first meeting on the bridge was not a coincidence, but she did it intentionally.

And then there was the rain. In the pavilion, she had deliberately revealed the identity of the Holy Maiden, all for the sake of the lie that they had just met.

"So that's how it is." Zhao Ping nodded.

The right to speak is now in Fairy Ling's hands, "I didn't tell you before because I was hesitating, because those two lives are not this world after all. If the one you like isn't me, what should I do? And so, I kept it a secret all the time, even bringing up the idea of 'being honest with you' to test how you felt toward me. I was very happy the moment you agreed without any hesitation. "

"But you saved me before, so why didn't you show yourself?"

Fairy Ling shook her head, "To tell you the truth, women have their own selfish motives. I want to see how you react when they fall off the cliff, after all, if I appear I will have to explain everything to you. At that moment, I was still hesitating."

"But I was looking for her at the bottom of the cliff, so I didn't pass your test?" Zhao Ping felt a bit of anger in his heart. In this moment of life and death, she actually wanted to test him instead of trying to save Gollum.

"You can say yes, you can say no." "On the surface, you spend a lot of effort to find her. This shows how deep your feelings for her are. However, I still want to tell you the whole story, because we promised to not hide it from each other."

Rather than ascribing the reason to the promise, she loved him very much.

Zhao Ping sneered and clapped his hands. "The Holy Maiden is good at scheming. At the critical moment, what she is thinking about is not saving others, but probing love."

Poor Gollum had been sacrificed just like that.

"I …" If it wasn't for him, would Guru have fallen into the puddle? But she couldn't say it out loud because she was afraid that he would go back to Gollum.

"Forget it, the Holy Maiden's status is very high, I have no obligation to save a carp spirit." Zhao Ping dejectedly turned around, wanting to leave.

Fairy Ling's voice floated into his ear from behind, "Aren't you surprised? When we first met, how come you felt tender towards me?"

Zhao Ping continued to walk forwards. What else could he have done? It was because he had misjudged her.
